Assuming that the readers of CIO.com are managers (and by implication senior managers), we’re in big trouble.

The respondants to this survey apparently want employees who have out-of-date technical skills and are thin-skinned yes-men and yes-women. And they’ll take those employees and subject them to multitasking on constanly shifting priorities.

I’m thinking they won’t be producing much working software.

(But maybe they’ll joke about it since a sense of humor is the second most desired characteristic.)
